Walt from Castrol just called. It turns out I have new/old stock production
date was yr 06 day 234.
I/we want yr 07 after March.
The newer bottle will then show that it's formula for Classis cars with
higher ZDDP
So now I have to call the distributor and have them reorder the correct
stuff.
Just thought I would share what I found out

Subject: Re: FW: [Healeys] Castrol Syntec
There seems to be a conflict here. How can Castrol Snytec 20w50 be rated API
service SM & also have the higher ZDDP levels of earlier service ratings &
the higher ZDDP levels required by classic vehicles with flat tappets?
Has anyone received a direct reply form Castrol concerning this?
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
